Episode one has great action scenes and great peaceful-family-life with foreshadowing introduction - in great production quality. To the point where I can point to that first episode as great examples of action and mood-setting life-like family life in anime.

Unfortunately, it quickly goes downhill - for me at least - and by episodes 6 and 8 onwards becomes a CGI mech story with silly over-the-top villains and characters.

I was so excited and hopeful after episode one. Unfortunate.

I sat through the rest of it, which was at times worthwhile, but I skipped through the end which was predictable and more of the same in a style I didn't like.

I can certainly recommend checking episode 1 out for its production quality.

Have you watched it? How did you find it?

The whole concept seemed half baked and rushed from the start, like they took one day to write the story and script and just decided to go with the first draft, instead of going back, editing, and developing the characters and story.

Even though you can tell there was a ton of money put into the production, the story just doesn't work.

Even the action gets silly towards the end, especially with the badly designed mech suits (open toes?, limited battery life?) and bad and offensive villain concepts like gay sex predator dwarf, black fade poser guy, and I couldn't watch anything past that.

The best part for me was the delivery guy fight in episode 2.
